Medal of Honor: Vanguard for PS2, Wii

EA has announced that MoH:Airborne won't be Wiiborne, but rather we'll see a nice little PS2 port with Wii controls tacked on. Okay, they didn't say that last bit, but its a given, surely.

Wii owners are going to have to get used to the Wii and PS2/PSP combo it seems.

We don't want your shitty ports EA.

The Wii is Far more powerful than the PS2, and that needs to be drummed into developers heads.

Do you reckon EA's Wii studio will be "handling" the Wii "game" (read: complete port)? I'll just have to get Airborne for the 360 I guess, as it looked quite good.

Proably, considering EA's 'Wii Studio' is nothing but a porting house.

They make games shit!

The sad things is that Wii is a number one, shit is a number two and thats probably EA christmas chart positions this year.

Oh these puns are 'a rollin'

Well they're the only things to come out of an EA thread.

It is funny because it is true.

Wii isn't a souped up GameCube with a special trick added on!

Its a sophisticated piece of gaming goodness!

You know these discussions all over the internets where Gamecube owners would complain how they were getting PS2 ports while the Gamecube is so much more powerful?

No?

Ok, forget what I said then.

I don't expect any better of EA.

It's Ubi Soft I'm dissapointed in.

Didn't Nintendo made a deal with EA to make something like 20 games for the Gamecube in the first year/two years. I think they gave Ubisoft another bag of money.

Ubisoft is just scared as hell they won't get the money so they are releasing games for the Wii like there's no tomorrow.

Lolz, yeah I know. But the difference was more negligible. As well as the Wii clocking a few more Mhz, the system is obviously incredibly refined..

I'm reckonin' that the last generation Wii games will look similar to Oblivion, i.e 360 first generation games...
Anyhow they are just being lazy gits, wanking all over Nintendos, 'gameplay over graphics' policy..

'gameplay over graphics' and 'graphics over gameplay' are just as bad. It comes down to developers giving more attention to one crucial aspect of games over the other, which almost always results in amazing yet outdated/flawed games.

What people always forget (especially Nintendo fans since the announcement of the Wii :roll, is that more power doesn't only enable better graphics. There's a whole host of things that extra processing power can go towards. I think there's no denying that the Wii could have done with being at least a bit more powerful. Not for the sake of 'comparing' to the other systems, but just to be a better system in itself.

Yeah, for example it's about time we got proper physics and artificial intelligence and a believable huge world to play in.

Absolutely....Was this aimed slightly at myself?

No, not at all. Just saying. You hear alot of "Better graphics are meaningless, innovative gameplay is better". It's bollocks. For a start, innovative controls do not automatically generate innovative gameplay. Secondly, extra processing power does need need to be used wholly on graphics. There's a fucking plethora of things it can go towards.

Thirdly, alot of people around here make it sound like an 'either or' situation. It shouldn't be a matter of last-gen console with innovative controls, it should be a next-gen console with innovative controls. That's not to say it should have been as powerful as 360/PS3, but it certainly should be less of a GameCube.

He used plethora, that means business in any book.

I'm imagining Nintendo going for a big leap in graphics/processing power /penis size on the next console, with this one being about getting the controller out, and possibly getting developers 'on a roll' with using the controller, in many different ways, and not just ports and fps's's's's's's's using the exact same control scheme, as other people have said, the DS didnt really get going until about a year into it's life, perhaps they're both preperation for the next big thing.

You could also think of stripping the power down not only making it more 'cost effective' in many respects (for example, devs not getting carried away with focus on certain aspects), but also forcing a developer to think differently, when power has been the only change for years, and you get into the habit of 'bigger and better', the habit can be hard to change - by stripping power, it forces emphasis on the controls, and thinking of what you can do, again, making them think differently - making them come up with new adn original ideas other than just a new instalment of a franchise, and also even making them think differently about presentation and style, as the power isn't there, some developers might still be concsious of the visuals, so try and think of different ways and styles of maybe bringing the game up to maybe a more 'acceptable' standard, not only making the controls unique, but even the look and feel of the game.
